An Android app for the Soest/Bad Sassendorf airfield that displays nearby aircraft, warns about traffic near winch cables and logs glider launches.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.
For
Gliding-club pilots and winch crews
Worth noticing
Its cable-area warning covers 150 metres either side of the start and winch area, up to 600 metres above the field.

Field notes

The app combines Open Glider Network (FLARM) feeds with ADS-B, overlays runway, circuit patterns and glider area, and flags aircraft entering defined zones; it can run in the background and notify on new starts. The launch analysis records release height, duration, peak speed and climb, while the displayed winch-start speed is explicitly estimated and still being checked against aircraft measurements.
